Four Step Plan

Stop Hiding - Be accountable to someone - yourself, your food, your family.

Be Mindful - not mindless - savour your food - texture, colour, taste, smell, feel it in your mouth.

Feed Yourself Without Food - Visit meaningfully with your friends, engage in meaningful (to you) activities.

Have a Safety Plan - Give yourself Choices - Have someone to phone when you need to talk, walk more, use peppermint oil (smell it, rub some on you).  Be anxiously engaged in good choices.

Love yourself as much as your loved-ones love you.
